"While the show is only rated TV-14, content has already included the prelude to a sexual foursome and a woman asking a man to insert his finger into her rectum during intercourse," the PTC said in a statement.

"I think sometimes when people see sex portrayed frankly on television they are shocked, because it's not what they expect," said the actor. "[But] I think as a society we need to examine what we get to so instantly outraged about and what flares us up, and if that's worth it."

I Just Want My Pants Back may now be shopped to other networks following the MTV cancellation. The final episode aired on March 29.
